Summary/Abstract: In this article I present the results of my larger study on worker legislation and the emerging figure of the worker in the political, economic and medical discourses from the early XX century until World War II. The specific focus of the research is how the figure of the worker connects to working hygiene and how the body of the worker is thereby constructed.
